An’ you ain’t gonna do no bad things like you done in Weed, neither. Lennie: Like I done in Weed? George: Oh, so ya forgot that too, did ya? Well, I ain’t gonna remind ya, fear ya do it again. Lennie: They run us outa Weed! George: Run us out, hell, we run. They was lookin’ for us, but they didn’t catch us. Lennie: I didn’t forget that, you bet. George: God, you’re a lot of trouble. I could get along so easy and so nice if I didn’t have you on my tail. I could live so easy and maybe have a girl. Lennie: We gonna work on a ranch, George. George: Awright. You got that. But we’re gonna sleep here because I got a reason. Lennie: George—why ain’t we goin’ on to the ranch and get some supper? They got supper at the ranch. George: No reason at all for you. I like it here. Tomorra we’re gonna go to work. I seen thrashin’ machines on the way down. That means we’ll be bucking grain bags, bustin’ a gut. Tonight I’m gonna lay right here and look up. I like it. Lennie: Ain’t we gonna have no supper? (pp. 7-8).
